| Obverse description | The State Emblem of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic occupies the central field, depicted in high relief and comprising a hammer and sickle beneath a five-pointed star, flanked by sheaves of wheat, with ears of corn and clusters of grapes at the base, and a ribbon bearing the abbreviation 'ПМР' / 'ШМР' / 'РМН'. The date '2006' and fineness mark 'Au 999' appear in the lower field beneath the emblem. The denomination '15 РУБЛЕЙ' is inscribed along the lower rim, while the issuer's name 'ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК' runs along the upper periphery in Cyrillic characters. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990 following the dissolution of Soviet authority, a separation backed militarily by the Russian 14th Army and cemented after a brief armed conflict in 1992. The territory has never received UN recognition, yet its Republican Bank has issued gold coinage since the mid-1990s — a deliberate assertion of institutional permanence by a state that exists in legal limbo. At 156.4 grams of .999 gold, this is a substantial bullion-weight piece, far beyond what a population of roughly half a million could absorb domestically.
Mintage figures for Transnistrian commemoratives of this period are rarely independently verified.
